If Jesus can party, so can I! (3/25/24)

 Hello everyone! Hope that you had a fantastic week! Mine was, fast. Honestly it was fast, which was nice! I think I might have a shorter email today, but we'll see! 


Highlights: 
☆We had actual lessons this week!🥹🥹🥹 We don't have very many friends so it was really nice to have some lessons! 
☆We had some really good member meals this week! They were literally so fire!!
☆District council was good! 
☆We're in a competition with the STLs to see who can be in more ponds (aka finding activities) before exchanges tomorrow afternoon. (We're winning rn knock on wood) I love you Sister Dahle, and we're going to beat you!
☆We had our district activity today, and that was fun! We played card games!

We're still on our huge finding grind, so we  really don't have to much going on but finding and a few lessons here and there. So yeah!

Friends:
☆Eric we found out doesn't live in our area so we had to pass him off to the Kettering Elders, and he took it surprisingly well. So yay!
☆We have a friend named Makayla, and she's very interesting. She has a lot of questions about our church and the doctrine so we're trying to help her see things clearly. So yeah, we'll see where that goes!

Spiritual thought:
This week is the week before Easter! And the final week of our dear Saviors ministry before the Resurrection. And last night we had a fire mission devotional all about the Atonement! She was pointing out things in the Atonement that I've been learning all in the past few years. The Atonement covers EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE EVER GONE THROUGH!! (I'm not yelling, I'm just trying to make a point) All the sadness, pain, happy, bad, hard, and easy. I mean everything! So I hope that as we all approach this Easter week, we can all deeply reflect on Jesus Christ, and what His atonement means to us!

Well, sorry it was short, again we don't have a ton going on so. Thanks for reading and all of your continued prayers! I love you all, and I hope that you all have a fantastic week! 
Love Sister Alex Hersom!

From babies to mamas (7/15/24)

  Howdy all! I hope you had an exciting week! I know I did, so let's get started!! Highlights: ☆Tuesday we had district council because transfers are on Thursdays now instead of Fridays. So fun! We had a good quickish council and then Elder Reynolds had a surprise for us. Sister Lilya was getting ready to go home, and apparently when a missionary goes home he does this. We played Jepordy! Yep! It was actually really fun! Sadly I can't remember who won and who lost, but I do remember it was really, really close.  ☆After that we had district lunch!! We went to El Toro, which is a Mexican place, and it was good!  ☆Sadly after that I got sick. Not from the restaurant, I just did. Monday I went to bed with a small scratch in my throat and when I woke up Tuesday morning, it was worse. Sad day. So I spent some sick time.  ☆We did however get to go to a member meal with the Andersons! I love them! They're so fun!!  ☆Tuesday evening we got a call from the APs. And Sister...

 Hey-ho people-o!! (There's a new one for ya!!) Hope that you've all been well, and that it hasn't been to overwhelmingly hot for ya! My week was good, honestly pretty uneventful as of big things so. All good, all good! So let's see what happened: Highlights:  ☆It poured rain on Tuesday and I absolutely loved it!! ☆The weather has cooled down since it's been raining, so that's been nice! ☆It's also been windy lately which is nice when we're outside! ☆Sister Roberts thought it would be funny to scare me, so she did. And I let out this really delayed, really dramatic scream. She didn't even scare me that bad, yet here we are. (You better watch out Sister Roberts, payback is coming) ☆We had District council this week! Yay! (We didn't have it last week because of Zone conference) ☆We had some good lessons with friends this week!  ☆The circus came to town!!!

  Hello! Hello! How was the week? Was it good? Or hard? Or in between? I'd love to hear about it!! Anyway my week was good, from my title toy can honestly probably guess what it's about, so here's the full story! Highlights: ☆Tuesday I hit 9 months!! And that was fun! Honestly the day was kinda rough as Facebook kicked everyone off and I couldn't remember my password and ultimately Sister Hopes had to get a new Facebook. But aside from that we got a ton of balloons from it, and Chick-fil-A! So, ya know, good! ☆Wednesday we waited alllllllllll day(!) For transfer news that wouldn't come til after 9pm. So when we finally forgot that they were coming, transfer news came! So Sister Hopes and I stayed and we also got another companion! And I'm senior comp now! (😁😱)  ☆District council!!! It was so good!! And fun!! And the testimonies were fire, and so was Sister Tolman getting her spirit animal! (Which we got to help with, as elder Stevenson asked us for suggestions...
